"I have always liked the simplicity and logical nature of Math and try to transmit that feeling to Math learners so they may gain confidence. Without confidence, learning any subject is much more difficult. I enjoy helping students explore their way to the solution with the Socratic method which is me asking questions and the student answering in a way that gets them closer and closer to the answer.

I have taught Mathematics at the grade school, high school and college level. I have taught Mathematics in other languages such as in Portuguese in Brazil. I am not satisfied until a student has a good understanding of how to reason to the answer and not just "getting the right answer". This helps students in other ways with the issues they will encounter later in life. They need to think calmly and quietly about the various options that might lead to a solution, which applies to all problems we face in our lives.

I make the student think deeply about the problem which over time makes them a mature thinker. This will help them in their later Math courses.

You may contact me with any questions that have been bothering you about Math problems you always wanted to understand but never got a good answer from any teacher." less...
